Mobile Internet
The mobile Internet offers much more than mobile
access to the Internet. It opens up a whole new
range of situation-based services that give the user
access to personalized communications,
information and entertainment, anytime, anywhere.
Data connections
In order to browse via WAP or use an Internet
connection, the user must have a data
communication connection configured in the
phone. This connection contains specific settings
and parameters to connect to an appropriate
server. Several data connections can be saved in
the T310/T312. To make it easier for the user, data
connections can be provided by the operator via
OTA provisioning.
Advantages of data connections include:
• Once the data connections are defined and
named, the user does not have to enter the
settings for the connection again.
• Data connections can be re-used at any time.
• Individual data settings for working with WAP, e-
mail or the Internet can be stored and activated
as needed.
• Data connections can be used for both GSM
Data and GPRS connection settings.
• Bearer type for WAP and corresponding bearer-
specific parameters may be selected.
• Data connections contain all the necessary
settings for the Internet access point, including
modem pool phone number or IP address, user
ID and password.
General Packet Radio Services
The introduction of GPRS (General Packet Radio
Services) is one of the key steps in the evolution of
today’s GSM networks for enhancing the
capabilities of data communication. Data traffic is
increasing enormously (over both wired and
wireless networks), with the growth in demand for
Internet access and services paralleling that for
mobile communications. Users want access to the
Internet while they are away from their offices and
homes, and surveys have found that the vast
majority of business professionals want the ability
to send and receive e-mail, browse the Web and
transmit text and graphics on a portable device.
That is why the main applications driving Mobile
Internet development are e-mail clients and Web
browsers.
The demand for high-speed Internet access will be
the key driver for coming generations of wireless
services, and GPRS can deliver the necessary
speed. GPRS allows innovative services to be
created, enabling new and previously inaccessible
market segments to be addressed and increasing
customer loyalty.
GPRS applications can be developed as both
horizontal and vertical. Vertical applications are
specific, including those for operations such as
